A SONGYE POLYCHROME WOOD SHIELD WITH A RITUAL MASK, KIFWEBEDemocratic Republic of the Congo, 20th century. Powerfully carved in a classical form and set on an elongated polygonal base with subtly convex sides, polychromed in black and white tones, and distinguished by almond-shaped eyes recessed within rounded sockets, a prominent flat nose above sharply hollowed cheeks, and a pursed rectangular mouth, the whole surmounted by an incipient crest characteristic of male examples.Provenance: The collection of Inge Bienenstein, Vienna, Austria, thence by descent within the family. Ingeborg Bienenstein (d. 2013) was the founder and director of Bienenstein Gallery, which she started in 1978 in Vienna, Austria. The gallery held several exhibitions each year, displaying fine antiques and works of art from Asia, Africa, and Oceania in context with modern art and design from Europe. This approach aimed at showcasing a universal language of art and the fact that art from all around the world can be connected in a meaningful way.Condition: Good condition with expected wear, minor age cracks, traces of weathering, expected rubbing and flaking to pigments, few small nicks and shallow surface scratches. Good patina overall.Weight: 646 g (excl. stand), 1,449 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 35.8 cm (excl. stand), 45.1 cm (incl. stand)With an associated metal stand. (2)Masking traditions of the Congo River basin often embody local conceptions of the control and mediation of mystical power. Polychrome face masks known as kifwebe likely originated in northern Shaba, an area historically inhabited by both Songye and Luba peoples. Over time, each culture developed significant variations in both the function and formal interpretation of this art form.Among the small Songye chiefdoms along the Lomami River, masked performers acted as emissaries of the ruling elite, whose authority was reinforced through an ideology grounded in witchcraft and sorcery. Members of the kifwebe society were custodians of esoteric knowledge, which was encoded visually and mnemonically in the formal features of the masks themselves.Hierarchical distinctions are expressed through the differentiation between a single female mask type and multiple male mask types, a contrast articulated through variations in color, surface treatment, and sculptural form.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams New York, 11 November 2019, lot 206Mid-Estimate: USD 10,000 or approx. EUR 11,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: Songye Small Shield with a Mask, Democratic Republic of the CongoExpert remark: Compare the closely related form and manner of carving with similar slanted eyes, prominent nose, pursed mouth of rectangular section, and polychrome decoration.
